God so loved the idiot boy
He gave him a pair of eyes to explore
Gave him a pair of hands to destroy
Any good thing that he found
He said "Put this kid in a candy store
Let him run around until he drops"
Then just like a bull in a china shop
Everything came crashing down
God so loved the idiot boy
That he filled the night with dreams
Til dusty sunlight beams
Danced upon the floor
Gave him a solo in the choir
Where songs of wild desire
Were all his voice was for
God so loved the idiot world
He gave it his only son to kick around
That was long ago in another town
(It could use a good laugh now)
God so loved the idiot world
Gave him a solo in the choir
Where songs of wild desire
Were all his voice was for
God so loved the idiot boy
He gave him coffee grounds in a paper cup
And a reason everyday to keep getting up
In a world that drags you down
God so loved the idiot boy
